This project is aimed at supporting 2 Aloha `Aina events, which are co -hosted by Pepe'ekeo Community Development Corporation Fishing access Committee and Makahanaloa Fishing Association. On April 6th and June 8th we will be taking care of the shoreline of Hilo Palikii from Waima`au` au stream in the south to Kapehu stream in the north. These regular events are necessary to keep our shoreline accesses open for all. Aloha `aina day activities include trail maintenance through weed whacking, mowing and pulling weeds. We also will be outplanting native species which help stabilize the shoreline and restore the natural ecosystem. These events are also important for building pilina between kanaka and `aina. Spending time on `aina together enriches our community. Telling stories, sharing work, and eating together will help to build bridges in a kaiaulu that is quickly changing. Only through this work can we hope to build resilience. *47.501(c)(3) Mission Statement Our mission is to grow and protect fishing community rights to provide food for families and maintain the generational bond with our treasured shoreline areas. *48. In 1,000 characters or less, explain how the 501(c)(3) is connected to the project. Makahanaloa Fishing Association serves the community of Pepeekeo. As previously stated, MFA's mission is to grow and protect the rights of our fishing community to provide food for their families and maintain generational ties to the treasured shorelines of Hilo Palikfi. The greatest threat to our mission is dwindling accessibility to our shorelines due to the overgrowth of invasive species and the privatization of coastal lands. These access ways are essential for ensuring the nourishment and well-being of Pepeekeo's community. While social challenges posed by private landowners may continue to inhibit our ability to access our shorelines, environmental barriers and threats are ones we can actively address. That is why these Aloha `Aina days are important to us and for our community. *49.
